Ok, well that makes it easier to understand why it costs so much! I don't sew so I had no idea! Thanks. Most of the lining is fine, but there is a big patch were it is ripped/worn away. I wonder if that could just be patched or something?

Probably under 100.00. Are you using a silk liner?
I don't think it's a silk liner, but I'm no expert. It seems more like nylon to me.

Thanks for both of your opinions! They have been helpful. Maybe I can see how much it would be to patch the liner and sew up the hem and rip.
